Absolutely gorgeous writing with nothing but clear images along the way. This book takes you on a journey whether or not you are ready and it is worth every page. Heartbreaking, stunning, shocking and too good to put down.

I liked the idea of this book. I wish there had been more about Allison and the Aunts, but it has left me room to infer. I was expecting a more satisfying ending, but I think that is just Donna Tartt’s way. This is my 3rd Donna Tartt book and every book of hers ends very suddenly, without any justification or significant meaning. However, I do kind of enjoy this, because isn’t life just the same?
